MANUFACTURING AND TECHNOLOGY MANAGEMENT PHD PROGRAM

admission requirements

The admission to our program is selective. If you are an intellectually curious individual with the eagerness to devote the next four years to rigorous training in research, and have excellent communication skills, and enjoy teaching and research- we encourage you to consider applying to our program. You will be closely working closely with world-class faculty who have made seminal contributions in their fields.

We are looking for highly motivated students with outstanding intellectual ability and a strong commitment to a career in research and teaching to join our PhD program. A master’s degree/ work experience, while very helpful, are not required for admission. All applicants must have at least a bachelor’s or equivalent academic degree to be considered for admission. A MBA or an equivalent graduate work in a business-related field is highly desirable. Students who do not have a business degree may be required to take foundation level business courses. 
Students admitted into our PhD program are supported with a competitive package of financial aid for four years contingent on satisfactory progress in the program

We evaluate the following in our quest to understand each applicant’s strengths: 

• Performance on standardized tests: GMAT scores are required for application (TOEFL is also required for all international applicants).

• Recommendation letters: We require at least three recommendation letters from people best qualified to judge the applicant's academic potential.

• Academic record at undergraduate/graduation institutions.

• The Statement of Purpose which highlights the applicant’s research agenda so that we can assess how it will mesh with the general research interests of the College of Business and Innovation’s faculty.

• Relevant teaching or work experience.

• Performance in the interview. For the remote applicants, the interview will be conducted online via Skype.
